Let the kids go wild with these Zootopia coloring pages

I have to admit Shakira's new song "Try Everything" for the upcoming Disney movie Zootopia is pretty catchy. I've found myself humming it the last few days while working out at the gym. In this upcoming animated feature film, the Grammy-winning singer voices the role of Gazelle who is the biggest pop star in the world of Zootopia, which is a modern metropolis populated by wild animals of all shapes and sizes.

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia which is the backdrop for this new family friendly animated adventure from Walt Disney Studios is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid
Tundratown, it's a melting pot where animals from every environment live
together -- a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest
elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie
police officer Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she
discovers that being the first bunny on a force of big tough animals
isn't so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the
opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with fast
talking, scam artist fox Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) to solve
the mystery.

My kids have been wanting to see Zootopia since we began seeing trailers for it at the movie theater last year. It looks to be a funny, upbeat story that parents and children can equally appreciate for a family outing to the movies. I'm sure all of us adults can appreciate the sloths working at the department of motor vehicles though kids under 16 may not get the humor. With a cute bunny as its star, comedic moments, and an energetic musical score this looks to be a must see movie for families that have kids at home who are young enough to go out in public without being embarrassed they are spending time with mom and dad.

While you are waiting for the film's March 4, 2016 release date let your kids go wild enjoying these Zootopia themed activity sheets and coloring pages courtesy of A Geek Daddy's friends at Walt Disney Studios.
